I think it wound up being 4/4.5 judging by Twitch (I think... I feel like it started at 7 and was still on around 11? Maybe it was 10, though.), and I really don't have the patience for more than 3 hour indie wrestling show at this point.

Edit: Looks like it has a runtime of 3:48 on their Twitch page.

I give them a pass for it this time because it was their big return show and they did have to do an impromptu thing for their immediate need of a new champ, I don't expect more to be that long going forward

Thinking of getting ToS on Fire, what are the odds they book Shlak for one of the non-tourney matches?

Kind of funny that MLW couldn't somehow pull this match off since they built the story for so long.

If you're going to Money In The Bank on Sunday and have nothing else to do during the day, check these guys out. Putting on a show about a mile down the road from the XL Center from 2PM - 5PM. Joey Janela just replaced Marko Stunt vs MJF. These guys a lot of fun!

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I think its funny that Brian Pillman, Jr. is burning through all the dad nostalgia matches before he even has a chance to be a decent wrestler.

I mean, its probably relative on whether waiting 5 years would improve Pillman more than it broke down Sullivan. It just seems funny to me. I half expect him to wrestle Dustin Rhodes in AEW next.

For people who watched their Mania weekend show, Joshua Bishop is the guy who won an I Quit match through handcuffing his opponent to the ring and threatening to set him on fire.

There's also a "HUGE mystery superstar to be announced on June 1st" that could be Moxley. Freshly ex-WWE guys are the headliners NEW loves and they generally don't gently caress around when promising something big. This is the same place Kenny worked Fenix last year.

No word on Park on the Saturday/Sunday shows in Norwich, CT or Scranton.

Fenix missed it and it looks like everyone else went absolutely insane to make up for it.

AIW promoter regarding Fenix https://www.facebook.com/thepassionjohnthorne/posts/10158313634408368

quote:

Tonight turned out great but the day totally sucked, when you can’t get a real answer out of someone you’ve hired and booked to come in and there is just no accountability or care in the world that they have hosed over an entire scene of wrestling fans is the most frustrating thing to deal with as a promoter. I’ve never felt more bummed out than today this tops the Sid situation by a ton as I dealt with Fenix straight up lying to me throughout the day and realized as the hours passed that the situation was never going to get resolved it seriously sucked so bad. I know these guys are basically untouchable as far as negativity goes and their huge fan base is never going to stop supporting them but it sucked to deal with. I give Penta credit for at least showing up to a booking that was arranged in January even though his brother could not. I’m still extremely furious that guys feel it’s ok to behave this way and take no responsibility for not showing up because they have nothing to lose but a pay day and do not realize the damage this could do to a local wrestling community. Cleveland,OH might not mean anything to some talents but it means absolutely everything to me as I’ve worked so hard to make Cleveland area wrestling matter and have put basically my entire livelihood on the line over the years to deliver a high quality product to Cleveland. I did everything that was asked of me and I still couldn’t get treated with enough respect to tell me the truth that Fenix was just not coming.

Thank you to everyone who came out tonight and understands, and if you don’t I just don’t know how to make you realize how hard I tried to make this happen today. This sucks to write and I’m sorry for the rant but I’m just feeling some kind of way right now.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
I was always a Ho Ho Hun until Cima went to China and just made a 10x better promotion in less than a year than Lun had been trying to do for about 4 years
